ABSOLUTE SUPPORT Extra Wide Compression Leggings for Women 20-30mmHg - Footless Compression Support Stockings for Edema, Arthritis, Swelling, Varicose Veins - Black, 5X-Large - A717BL8

Compression stockings are excruciatingly sensitive to the shape of one's legs, and the softness or firmness of the underlying tissues. The size chart -- thank you for providing multiple places to measure -- is critical but only step one in getting the right pair. I also thank the manufacturer allowing returns. I started with the size that the chart predicted would be just right for me. It wasn't. I returned the product and ordered the next size up. It was better but not yet bearable. I returned this size and ordered the next size up. Finally! No tears over digging in to tender post-sx flesh. this pair fits everywhere while still providing the compression needed to avoid blood clots. It's a good product: well made, decent weight knit, and not too thick or thin. I will be buying another pair in this size, or maybe even two more. Once my surgery has healed I will still want to sometimes put 'em on for travel, for a time I'm extensively on my feet, and so forth.

I thought I ordered the foot in version of this stocking but I'm actually pleased. According to the size chart, I have the right size but they are slightly larger than expected. This is okay because they are not so big that they are ineffective. I have swelling in one thigh only and this sometimes causes pain. When wearing these, the pressure helps that pain and swelling. They also stretch enough that putting them on is definitely a chore but not as bad as some others I've worn. I am happy with this purchase and will likely purchase at least one more pair.

I bought a size up after reading reviews. I bought the 5X and they were very tight but after the struggle of putting compression garments on, they felt pretty good except the waist which was a bit tight. I normally wear a 3X or 4X. I wish they had come in a 6X and they would have been perfect. The compression was good but they were so hard to get on! Good quality and holds its shape well. I was kind of hoping they would stretch out a little bit but they haven’t. Hand washed and air dried . For the price I was satisfied. I only had to wear them for 7 days after a vein procedure. I couldn’t see paying such a high price to get the well known name brands or custom ones since I didn’t have to wear a long time. I will be wearing them again when more veins are done. Just not looking forward to the struggle to put them on! Also held everything In so tight that my clothes were loose! They were long on me as I’m only 5ft 3in. So if you’re taller they will be great.

I gave this 3 stars only because I have never bought compression pants before and ordered a size 3 times bigger than me but I could barely squeeze into them. When I managed to pull them up, the waist band was digging into me and was a bit uncomfortable. I give them high marks in durability because they kept the tightness and did not stretch out. When ordering, make sure it's several sizes bigger unless you want it really tight but that's what they are meant to do.

These were life changing for me. I’m on my feet as much as 12 hours a day at work, so compression stocking are a must. I’ve always worn compression pantyhose but it drove me nuts the way they’d always get so tight around my toes. So when I saw these leggings I gave them a shot and I’m so glad I did. They’re supportive yet comfortable, and durable. They’re not exactly like leggings you’d wear by themselves because they’re a bit sheer—-think of them more like footless tights, so if you do wear them as leggings, wear a top long enough to cover your rear end.

Tried on and they were at least 18 inches past the end of my toes. The calf and thigh compression were great but can't wear because they are sooooo long.

Im very happy and pleased with the leggings once I got them pulled all the way up my legs and knees feel very secure. I should have purchased the ones with the toe out. I can still make these work just have to wear my lace up shoes. Overall I'm happy. The quality is thick enough to be worn as leggings just wear a longer short to cover your bottom. I'm a big girl and mine were long enough to pull all the way up and not sag in the crotch. I'm over 300lb and 6 feet tall. I purchased the 5XL if this help someone.

I was excited to see these compression leggings, they appeared to be a great option in plus sizes. That enthusiasm very quickly disappeared when I received my order, the overall issue is fit - the fabric is stiff but high compression - OK.... the real challenge is that there isn't enough stretch to even begin to accommodate thick thighs. But the waist was the worst... the relatively tiny waist was stiff fabric and barely stretched and wouldn't fit over plus size hips. It's like they didn't make any sizing accommodation for plus sizes. #fail
